[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was the guy who didn’t have to show up for his job at EPA for years because he convinced them that he was working for the CIA. He even got $500,000 in retention bonuses. They paid for his parking space because he claimed he contracted malaria while in Viet Nam (he did not and was not). He also billed hundreds of thousands for travel. He only got caught because he threw a lavish retirement party and someone noticed that he was still on the payroll afterward.

Wow I hope someone has an update on this guy. He's probably out of prison, on to some other scam, and still collecting his EPA retirement! [/quote]

He’s been out for years (since 2016).

I work in that office-it was SO juicy when it was all happening. The HR guy that flagged it was one of my neighbors. [/quote]

I know someone who was close to his wife, so I heard that side of the story. She is very accomplished and I’m amazed she maintained a high-flying career while all of this happened.

Amazingly, she knew nothing. She just thought her husband was remote working from their 2nd home on Cape Cod. Apparently all that time he was doing CIA business, he was just puttering around their home on the Cape.

Iirc, they never divorced.
